Online Travel: 2018 Global Market Analysis - Booking Through Mobile Device Drives Growth of Online Travel Sales

DUBLIN, Oct. 31, 2018 /PRNewswire/ --

The "Global Online Travel Market 2018" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The online travel market is expanding worldwide and projected to maintain positive dynamics despite a slowing growth rate in recent years.

Global digital travel sales are expected to approach almost a 50% milestone in share of total travel sales in 2018, according to a forecast cited in a new publication. Much of the growth in the travel sector is expected to come from millennials and younger travelers who have high service expectations, make decisions based on travel recommendations and reviews and expect a personalized customer approach in their travel purchase journey.

North America is forecasted to remain the world's largest online travel market in terms of online share of total travel sales in 2018, revealed in the report. Global peer-to-peer brands like the lodging sharing services, Airbnb and Uber and the ride-hailing services, such as Uber and Lyft, continue to grow in popularity with the Millennial generation.

North and Latin America are expected to generate more than a half of the global sharing economy platform provider revenue and to become the main consumers of the P2P services through 2022. Airbnb.com also ranked third in the global ranking of the travel websites, after Booking.com and TripAdvisor.com in terms of total visits in August 2018.

The adoption of mobile booking technology and travel apps plays a significant role in the continued development of the global travel market. Countries of Latin America and Asia-Pacific were the leaders of mobile booking adoption, where smartphone users reported that they are comfortable researching, booking and planning their entire trips using only a mobile device. Despite of that, desktop remains the main booking channel globally, as the report shows.
